22-Apr RG Sydenham vs SSL




Men Against Boys!

SSL Management in Goal & 3 in defence with 7x18year old whippets in attack. RG’s made up of youthful belief mixed with Older Knowledge. SSL system fine tuned in previous competitions versus RG’s usual Turn up and go style! The first half started quickly with SSL’s intentions clear, attack attack attack! Although RG’s refused to surrender it became a bit like scene from the Alamo or Rourke’s Drift. The 1st half ended in a flurry with Tayo showing some silky skills and a goal for RG’s; unfortunately by this time SSL had scored 9 (nine).

The second half started with a few changes in personnel, JC entering the fray and regular substitutions including the entrance of the RG Ginger Whippet aka Tommy F; apparently sponsored by Carlsberg, unfortunately it did read as it says on the tin “probably the best footballer in the team"! NOT! This half was a little bit closer with a few more chances created by RG’s and a bit better togetherness or team orders in place. With refereeing being covered by Hall & Kay, with immense barracking from the Hall & Kay supporters! Again the only goal scored for RG’s was by Tayo in his magic No. 5 shorts. Again this turned the game for RG’s despite the 5 goals scored in reply by SSL.

The after match autopsy was carried out with only Colin Hope from SSL, cheques issued in the gross value of £1,150.00 with a further cheque of £200.00 issued the next day. Final score 14-2. Joe Bowler
